Synopsis
The Canadian-American Challenge Cup holds a special place in the hearts of motor racing enthusiasts. By offering big prizes along with minimal technical restrictions, the Can-Am quickly attracted the world's best drivers, teams and engineers. One of them was Peter Bryant, a London-born mechanic who had already worked with some of the top names in sports cars, Formula One and Indy Car racing. Can-Am Challenger is packed with technical details and insights on what goes into building a successful racecar. But Bryant also includes a wealth of colorful characters and hilarious stories from a life spent behind the scenes in racing. From dodging the police at the French Grand Prix to chasing sponsors across the U.S. and Canada, Bryant never lost his boundless enthusiasm or energy. The 384-page book is illustrated with 143 black-and-white and color photographs, as well as technical diagrams and memorabilia from Bryant's career in racing. It also includes a foreword by Jackie Oliver, who drove, London-born Peter Bryant gave up a career as a front-line Formula One mechanic to begin an entirely new life in American auto racing, where he eventually became a leading Can-Am car designer. His experiences, recounted here in vivid detail, offer a compelling and often very humorous look into one of motor racing's most exciting eras. Peter fell in love with the United States when he visited to prepare a factory-loaned Ferrari for John Surtees in the 1963 U.S. Road Racing Championship. Peter returned to America as a mechanic for Mickey Thompson's team at the fateful 1964 Indianapolis 500. This time he stayed, working first with Carroll Shelby's Cobra team and later with the Dana Chevrolet and Carl Haas Lola Can-Am teams. It was in the Can-Am series that Peter made his mark as the designer and builder of several unique cars. The first was the innovative Autocoast Ti22, which featured the extensive use of titanium components and construction. In 1970 the Ti22 became the first American-made car to lead a Can-Am race since 1968. Peter continued to fight the McLarens and Porsches that dominated the series with his famous UOP Shadow cars in 1971 and 1972, which made pioneering use of ground-effect aerodynamics and ran on unleaded gasoline. In Can-Am Challenger Peter tells his own story in his own engaging style. Though packed with technical details and insights into building a successful race car, his account also includes a wealth of colorful characters and hilarious stories from a life spent behind the scenes with great cars, teams, and drivers.

- k***n (380)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseItem shipped out quickly, packaging was done well (lots of bubble wrap around the figure, padding in the box). Figure is indeed the one pictured and described; looks great and is in perfect working order. A nice fair price, which made it feasible to bring back a lost sentimental treasure from the distant past. Excellent seller. Thank you.:)
- z***a (14)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseFist I want to say this seller was very transparent. They messaged me saying they messed up their listing and explained what was messed up, then they offered to give me a full refund or a partial refund if I still wanted the figures. I took the partial refund. THEN they went out of their way to find me the piece missing in their selling that was about the same price as the refund I got. Overall I highly recommend this seller.
